I am playing how it’s suppose to be played- by the OFFICAL Rules.

While we’re on the topic: What about those suspensions people should not have received? What if you do get whitelisted? What about the fact that one can still have been falsely banned for months, and possibly even falsely silenced for literally years?
Not really. Being skeptical of those who allegedly have a wildly different experience from me doesn’t make me an expert. Dude just said that because he was upset or something.
I’m not ignorant, I just think most of you aren’t telling the full truth when you say “I got banned for playing this hero! I’m innocent!” I genuinely think those people are lying.
Fuey used to throw games if someone tried to take Sym from him in hero select, and I bet a lot of you have as well.

It’s really wild how far you take a conversation that logically cannot go anywhere. You’re stating your opinion to the point in which it’s unnecessary, nonconstructive, and intrusive.
There are plenty of streamers and youtube video uploaders who one trick or main off meta heroes. Every once in a while one gets banned (up until white listed). You would have to watch them to see if they ever act toxic.
Personally I suggest looking into FTPComputer a former Sym one trick who started also playing Sombra, Mei, and Moira. They never once type or talk in-game but leave the voice channels on. Just watch some of the abusive things and false reports people are caught doing against someone who can’t be toxic since never types or says a word nor spams voice lines.

You may believe that. You are wrong.
Check your report function in game. Gameplay Sabotage is NOT refusing to switch.
Code of Conduct says the same thing. Do not report for failure to change heroes.
Jeff Kaplan, the guy who release Overwatch developer’s videos all the time, says the same thing. Do not report for refusal to switch.
You are false reporting and are part of the problem.

Incorrect. The report system is incredibly clear. People refuse to read, or outright ignore, what is or is not reportable.
What isn’t clear is why the support staff refuse to do a proper investigation following the very clear rules. I blame whoever is in charge of the support staff for failure to make sure all staff use the rules as given by the company.

“Trickling is subjectively 100% wrong and bad in all situations.”
Fixed that for you. It is an opinion and hardly objective.

That’s what I meant, it isn’t being followed. It might state that not switching isn’t reportable (as it SHOULD be) but when you get responses that are saying hey, you not switching is causing a negative impact… i mean, it really is very contradictory, which is why I said they weren’t clear. If rules aren’t being followed by the mods, that means the rules aren’t explicit.
Thanks for the tip about FTPComputer-- I’ll look that up for sure.

Some situations you really can’t stay one hero all the time, in any slot, unless your playing incredibly well against all the odds, you have to be insanely clutch, if you are successful at your hero you should stay.
I think Sym is great in some maps, but others not so well.
Ahh one correction to my earlier post. His name is FTKComputer not FTPComputer.
I’ll give you a link to his video lineup, and an example video of how people act to a Sym before match even starts.

K, I’ll just one trick winston against a team that has bastion, hog and reaper. Everything will work out fine.

… just like 2.0 was…?
The whole point in a complete rework is that people did not like that she was better in some maps than others.
2.0’s biggest drawbacks at top tier play was that her m1 took too long to ramp up (3.0 takes longer), it was hard to get into m1 range with only a toss out barrier shield (3.0 doesn’t even have that, and the teleport only works for closing on enemies that are not prepared), her health was very low and only could really survive to m1 while shield gen was up (3.0 has same health but no shield gen).
The only good thing really about the 3.0 change is the remote sentry deployment as this allows you to deploy while on attack.
m2 is now the bread and butter dps for Sym 3.0 but in the process she lost the shield piercing ability. If m1 was reliable it would be worth it, but with m1 being trash…

She is still very effective far more difficult to deal with on attack, say escort/hybrid on attack, rather than defense.
Control, usually her ultimate can be useful, but also shut down fairly easy, since she can’t prevent environment elims, and there so many ways to flank the team, paths surrounding the map. I think Mei might be more useful, in those situations.
Can a sym, mei taking 2 dps slots work? it could in that map, but that would also mean who ever is the teammate will be willing to play mei as well. Mei is rather strong now, for those maps.
If Sym Ultimate, became a literal wall/floor to step on or bounce off, could be placed on floor flat across the map, then she would be amazing. if the Ult could be used to pass through but also if teammates could hold a button down to bounce off it to prevent those elims would be great too.

While I do not like sym at all new or old.( she just doesn’t seem to have place in my opinion). But here is my problem with blizz and their stance on OTP/niche hero players. Blizz says it’s not reportable to be either of these types of players as long as you’re trying. But yet people can abuse the report system and still get them banned. Even though BLIZZ says it’s not reportable at all. So this creates an interesting dilemma. This must mean I am in the good to report my Reinhardt for not shielding enough/ mercy for not pocketing me/ Zarya for not comboing with me and anyone else for any other reason I feel like. Because that is what blizz is essentially doing with the report feature; letting the players decide what is reportable despite people blatantly reporting freely and breaking the rules of he reports.
Blizz does not have control over their community because it has been said before that if someone is reported the community has decided that is reportable.
They are sitting the fence because they say one thing but allow the opposite. What they should do is if someone gets an influx of reports within one game they should flag the chat/text/recording of the match and review it themselves.

Even if u did onetrick winston u wouldnt get reported, which is the issue at hand. Only some onetricks get banned, everyone else is off the hook. If youre a mercy or tracer (or even winston) onetrick thats fine; sym and torb tho are scum of the Earth.

My point is one tricks shouldn’t exist period, they should all be banned from comp because they are selfish and don’t belong in the competitive scene.
No more selfish than those who think they have the right to dictate to someone else how they should play the game.

They ruin the experience of 11 other people in a match, because they choose to play the game in their own selfish way.
That’s the definition of selfish
You first need to define where everyone draws the line when someone becomes a one trick. How many hours life time. How many hours in the current comp. What characters, what are they doing on said character, etc. And you must ban every one trick, at every rank. Even if they have 100% win rate.
